📰 Why Is the Dow Rallying?
- Ceasefire Between Israel and Iran: As confirmed in President Trump’s announcement, the 12-day conflict officially ended with a ceasefire agreement. This has de-escalated global military concerns and reassured global markets.
- Strong U.S. Macro Indicators: Lower-than-expected inflation readings and rising consumer confidence are pushing investor sentiment higher.
- Sector Rotation Into Industrials: Traders are rotating into Dow stocks—particularly industrials and financials—on bets of a second-half global economic rebound.
📌 What to Watch Next?
- Q2 Earnings Season: As results from major Dow components like Apple, JPMorgan, and Boeing begin rolling in next month, traders will look for further validation of the economic recovery.
- Fed Commentary: Investors remain watchful of the Fed’s July policy tone. While rate cuts aren’t expected yet, any dovish surprise could fuel the breakout.
